Autumn

[andr70]

Hi there all! How are you these days?
Are you a bit depressed in autumn? How do you fight it?

[Tip the Bottle]

I love Autumn, what would you be depressed about. The leaves on trees take on the colours of a beautiful sunset, the air gets crisp and carries on the smell of leaves and fires, it gets nice and quiet outside. But I do see how some people can view it all as death and decay I guess that's what Autumn actually is.

To combat the ill effects of Autumn try watching some soccer, Premiership works well, with a warm mug of cider while letting your best soup cook. If that doesn't work look up my old friend Johnnie Walker, he'll lull you to sleep.

Happy to join you with the good Mr Walker but I'll pass on the premiership

I get seasonal affective disorder. I bought two huge lights that put out true white light. I sit between them for an hour or so while on the computer in the morning. They help a lot.

'Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness'

I always imagine the Earth in Autumn as limbering up and gathering all it's strength for a quick dash through Winter and then the almighty leap forward that is Spring.
Sure Halloween is coming & then Christmas/New Year ... party time (what's to be depressed about?)
As we say in Ireland 'we never died a winter yet'

I'm okay in autumn but get a little down mid-winter...I just try to make season-specific traditions that I can look forward to, like peppermint mochas, and fires in the fireplace

I never minded Autumn as to me it means the approach of Xmas and all the holidays that come with that, its January and Feb that i really dislike especially after the miserable Winter we had here last yr

I love autumn. Its great hoodie weather!!

I love all of the seasons equally really, I think they all have something great to offer. I go surfing and to the beach more, as well as bike rides in the summer, and hikes and play football for hours... Well I do then anytime really, but more people will do it with me in Summer haha. And I really enjoy the sunrises in Summer time. While in Winter I love the rain and the smell of it, as well as most people being indoors so I get the outdoors more to myself, and I enjoy walking around more though I could get some frozen toes... And the fire logs? Fantastic, as well as the opportunity to snowboard.

Autumn? Wonderful!
Sadly, I do get depressed with the darker seasons which is why I like to work more and sleep less. Probably why I get along better in Summer...
So yes, as much as I really do love Autumn and everything that comes with it (I absolutely love Halloween and never finishing my thanksgiving dinner), it's difficult for me haha. That's when I really need people around me more.

As the days get shorter, I find myself getting a little more and more gloomy I guess you could say. Although, Autumn is such a beautiful time of the year, its hard to be all that depressed. I will hold off on full blown depression until the winter comes...then its time.

I do know what you mean...I get seasonal affective disorder as well and this year I've purchased some Vitamin D tablets in the hope of lifting my mood a little more. I really dont like that Winter at all. Cold weather doesnt bother me its just wet weather that really annoys me as you can't go out anywhere.

I normally go on holiday in the first week of December though as its so cheap and I can normally get a good deal to the Canary Islands or somewhere like that where its pretty much guaranteed to be sunny! I need my winter sun!
